Hi all,
this is probably a simple question but I am not sure where to look for
the answer.  I have Rubini's Linux Device Drivers book, and I am trying
to get his example Hello World module going.  I am running Red Hat 6.2
kernel 2.2.14-5.0.  Here is the code that I use:

#define MODULE
#include <linux/module.h>

int init_module(void) { printk("<1>Hello World\n"); return 0;}
void cleanup_module(void) {printk("<1>Goodbye\n");}

and this is what I type when I am logged in as root:

# gcc -c hello.c
# insmod hello.o

the message "Hello World" does not get displayed

then I type:

#rmmod hello

the message "Goodbye" does not get displayed.

I can tell (I think) that the module is being inserted because if I try to 
insert it twice without removing it first, it says a module with that name 
already exists.

Any ideas?

thanks...

Jeffrey
